Actual factual reporting from Dana Bash and Lisa Goddard of CNN: Republicans again block Iraq withdrawals
WASHINGTON (CNN) — Republican senators on Friday were again able to block a Democratic amendment that would set “definite timelines” for bringing home American combat forces from Iraq.
…GOP senators have filibustered every Democratic-led push to bring troops home from Iraq. They used a procedural vote Wednesday to kill a proposal that would have required the Pentagon to give troops returning from Iraq stateside time equal to their time in the combat zone.
Six Republicans joined Democrats in voting for the plan, but the final vote was four short of the 60 needed to break a filibuster.
Facts and numbers and truth – I don’t know if I can stand it. What will they do next – label lies as lies?

Where are the smelling salts?
Oh, just use some sea salt around the edge of the margarita glass.
Oh….I could do that! I have a new favorite, too. Blood Orange Margarita!
Que rico!
I’ll have to get my margarita fill now that Mexican farmers are pulling up their agave plants to plant corn for ethanol. (apparently pays way more…)
You will notice as the price of tortillas goes through the roof, and the same for bread as all of the grain prices are spiking.
What is it they keep saying – core inflation isn’t bad, noting that core inflation doesn’t include the “volatile food and energy prices”. If you aren’t rich the two items you already spend most of your money on after housing are food and energy. I’m so thrilled that the rich people’s inflation isn’t very high.
